We just finished a statistical year at Northside. I know it passed with out much fanfare but there are some things I wanted to share with you about what the numbers say is happening. For the most part it was an incredible year of growth.
In typical Baptist fashion, let me start with baptisms, we had 52 this year, up from 33 last year. We now have over 2,000 resident members, 2,012 to be exact. We were at 1,990 last year. Our overall Sunday morning worship average grew from 637 last year to an average of 703 this year. Other areas had some modest growth, other areas were down some but overall we have seen God really bless us. We have cause to be thankful.
We also have cause to be busy. The growth we have seen just touches the potential and the need. I also read this week where on any given Sunday only 5 out of 100 Texans will be in a Baptist church and only 20 out of 100 will be in any evangelical church.
More people have joined us in the journey at Northside. Many more need to know that they can join us and that God has a path for all of us through this life with Him. This Sunday we will pick back up on our series "The Path." We will discuss the path to life's greatest gift. I hope you will join us and bring some one along for the journey.
